You Capture: Lines

I had this fabulous idea for this week's You Capture. I was going to go to the beach and take a picture of the horizon, because what's a more perfect line than that? Except that it was eleventy-billion degrees below zero yesterday and very windy. I briefly considered it because I bet there were some angry waves that would have made for great photos, but in the end, I just didn't feel like getting hypothermia.

Instead, I played around with some photos I took of my still blooming rosebush yesterday. I've never used the macro setting on my camera before, but I managed to get a few decent shots of all the little lines that make up a snow flake.Snow is pretty. I just wish it wasn't so cold.

Ooooh...I love that second one! The first, of course, is great too. Amazing what details you can pick up with a macro! And I'm so glad you decided AGAINST going out in the eleventy-billion degrees below zero weather!!

What? This challenge is not so important to you that you would risk hypothermia in the eleventy below zero weather? PLEASE... : ) Just kidding! I love your lines. And get the heck out of here? Your bush is still blooming? That is crazy. And cool! It is defying the odds of the weather, right? Great lines. LOVE your macro setting!

These need to be framed. You are as good as Wilson Snowflake Bentley! The contrasts are exquisite and the ice crystals are now CAPTUREd forever. I love them. Amazing! (Isn't it funny that the snow MADE you see its perfection!!??)

you really are a superhero! i'm drooling over the snowflake picture. i couldn't get that shot if i tried. i'm guessing you have a stellar camera with a super fun macro lens. all i can do is drool, and maybe bow (or something). very very impressive.

That's a snowflake? What a cool picture! Thanks for your comment on my blog. I do sell them (just opened an Etsy shop recently). This was my first batch of tiny ones but I should have them in the shop in a day or two. It's here:
